6-5/8" Diameter Vent (minimum 12" vertical rise)

Reducer - # 98900165

Vent Installation

• Slide the vent sections together and turn 1/4 turn until the sections lock in place.

• Screws are not required to secure the vent. However, three screws may be used to secure ventsections together if desired.

• High temperature sealant is recommended at the appliance starter section connection (use high-temperature silicone or Mill-Pac®).

• If disassembly is required, at time of re-assembly check to see if the vent creates a tight fit. If it doesnot, apply high temperature sealant to the joints of the affected sections.

• Horizontal sections require a 1/4" rise every 12" of travel

• Horizontal sections require non-combustible support every three feet (e.g.: plumbing tape)



Approved Vent Configurations

Restrictor and Diffuser Position

• An exhaust restrictor and diffuser are built into the appliance to adjust the flow rate of intake air andexhaust gases. Depending upon the vent configuration, you may be required to adjust the restrictorand/or diffuser . The charts for acceptable vent configurations detail the correct vent restrictor anddiffuser positions.

Exhaust Restrictor Adjustment

To Access the Restrictor:

Remove the face (with the stove

cool).

Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only) 39


Steps for Finalizing the Installation1. Remove the glass (see page 41).

N O T E : If using propane (LP) convert the appliance prior to installing the logs.

2. We recommend you purge the gas line at this time (with the glass removed). This allows gas to bedetected once it enters the firebox, ensuring gas does not build up.

3. Install the logs (see page 43).

4. Turn on the gas to the fireplace. Turn on gas to the heater. Leak test all gas joints prior to starting theappliance. Start the pilot.

Starting the Pilot Flame

WARNING : When lighting or re-lighting the pilot, the glass must be removed (seepage 41) .a Remove the glass (see page 41 for details).b Push the gas control knob in slightly and turn it to the "OFF" position. The knob will not turn from

"ON" to "OFF" unless the knob is depressed slightly. Wait five minutes to let any gas that may haveaccumulated inside the firebox escape. If you smell leaking gas, follow the directions on the cover "IFYOU SMELL GAS".

c Turn the gas control knob to the "PILOT" position and press the knob in, this will allow gas to flow tothe pilot light. Press the button on the pilot igniter repeatedly until you see the pilot light.

WARNING: If the pilot does not light after 15 seconds, release the knob and callyour dealer for service. Do not attempt to light pilot until service hasbeen performed.

NOTE:

You may wish to remove the log set to gain a better view of the pilot (see page 43).d Keep the gas control knob depressed for 30 seconds once it is lit.e Release the gas control knob. If the pilot goes out, repeat step C. If the pilot refuses to stay lit, call

your dealer for service. With the pilot lit, proceed to step “f”.f Replace the glass.g Turn the gas control knob counter-clockwise to "ON". The pilot is now lit and the heater can be turned

on and off.

5. Check the pilot flame following the directions below.

Pilot Flame Inspection

The pilot flame should look like the illustration below. Adjust the pilot flame if necessary.


The pilot flame must contact the thermocouple and

thermopile (see the illustration below). Adjust the pilot up or

down as necessary.

To adjust the pilot flame, turn this screw. Clockwise

lowers the flame while counter-clockwise raises it.

6. Start the main burner (the main burner circuit is detailed on page 22). Leak test all gas joints again.

40 Finalizing the Installation (for qualified installers only)


7. Check the air shutter following the directions below.

Air Shutter Adjustment

Let the heater burn for fifteen minutes (make sure the logs and glass are in place). The flames should beyellow with no sooting. Adjust the air shutter, if necessary, to achieve the correct looking flame.

NOTE: If the air shutter is all the way open, yet the flames remain sooty, shut off gas to the fireplace and contact a qualified gas service technician.

CorrectFlames should be blue at the base, yellow-orange on the top.

If the flames are too tall or sooty on the ends, open the air shutter.

Not Enough AirIf the flames are all blue and short, close the air shutter.

Too Much Air

NOTE: The logs must be installed correctly to monitor the flame while adjusting the air shutter.

Moving the air shutter control to the right gives the flame less air (closed) - making it more orange. Moving it to the left gives the flame more air (open), making it more blue. For fine adjustments use a screwdriver to tap the air shutter.

ADJUSTING THE AIR SHUTTER Less Air

More Air

Phillips Screwdriver

Air Shutter Control

8. Turn the flame adjust knob to its highest position - the flames should not contact the top of thefirebox. Check the flame on low position. The flames should burn off of each burner hole. If theheater does not work correctly, contact your Travis dealer for a remedy.

9. Give this manual to the home owner for future reference and fully explain operation of this heater. Forcomprehensive operating and maintenance instructions, refer to the Owner's Manual (part # 100-01186).

ACID WASH WARNING: Before installing the faceplate, make sure any masonry that has been treatedwith acid wash has been properly neutralized (this is used primarily with brick faces). Acid wash (muriaticacid) is used to remove excess mortar. If not properly neutralized with an ammonia solution, the platedface may develop a permanent tarnish when the acid evaporates over time. Contact your dealer ifuncertain your facing has been properly neutralized.
